Google Earth and Voicethread Tasc Wheel

  //I know that Google Earth is a program that can show you around the world and you can see other countries, I have never heard of Voicethread till this project. // Have I presented material about Google Earth and Voicethread before? //No, I didn’t use Google Earth much so I didn’t do much on it and as I said I have never heard of Voicethread till this project. // Do I understand what I have to do? Is there anything I don’t understand about this activity? //I understand most of it, I think it’s just the Voicethread bit that was a bit confusing. //  What skills and knowledge will I be using? //I will be using finding skills for the photos, and writing the details, I will be using independence, organisation and // ||  //I want to be able to finish on time and be able to look back and see how much work we have done and what we can improve on. //  What do I need in order to do this? What materials do I have? What resources do I need? Should I do more research on Google Earth and Voicethread? //I need to stay on task, and make sure I complete everything well. I will need my laptop and a memory stick. I do not think I shouldn’t do much research but listen to the tips my teacher tells me. // Who will be looking at this work? How can I appeal to other students? //My teacher will be looking at this work and people who like to see the sights we have chosen. I can appeal to other students by getting good interesting pictures that can grab the eyes attention. //

 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">What is the task? **<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> || <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">What do I want to accomplish in the Google Earth and Voicethread project?

Are there examples of Google Earth and Voicethread posters or materials that I can look at? //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Yes my teacher made a quick one showing us what it was to look like on voicethread. // <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> What are the obstacles? What problems may happen? //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">My laptop being at ISS, My partner being sick and having everything on her laptop, the Google Earth acting up, not being able to upload to Voicethread. // <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> What aspects of Google Earth and Voicethread interest me? What would I want to see on the project? //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Google Earth interests me with how it works and who much you need to know to work it, and Voicethread interests me how it can upload pictures and movies and can write and draw. I would like to see Countries that I never have been to, amazing sites that make me saw wow. Places no one has heard of. An interesting slide show, a good presentation that will catch the eye. // <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Consider the advantages and disadvantages of each idea. //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The country’s is a good advantages because it gives a better understanding of what the countries look like, a disadvantage is getting the photo’s will be hard because most of the amazing photos are student access blocked. // <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> Are there any other subjects to consider? //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">No // <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> What resources (books, websites, etc.) have I been provided with? //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I have been provided with instructions, Google earth, laptops, emails to do with voicethread and Mrs Beadle’s advice. // <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> What do other people think about this? Do others think I have a good idea? //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Yes they think it’s a good idea. // || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Explain your reasons for choosing these. What are the arguments for and against each idea? //I chose countries that make me say wow! Because, amazing sites and photos will get you good marks and it makes a really good presentation, but amazing places are hard to find if you don’t know what you are looking for.// //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I also chose countries that no one has heard of because, the project is about site seeing and information about the destination, and a good start is about a foreign places that people would like to know about, but again it will be hard finding a place if you don’t know what it is. // //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Lastly I chose an eye catching presentation that includes a lot of effort, because a good presentation is a good mark which is what we want, but it will be hard to include a lot that will make it great. // <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Which idea is the best one for completing the task? Which idea is best for accomplishing my goal? //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">A good eye catching presentation that include a lot of effort because that is what we want something that will make this project successful. // <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> What is my plan? What are the steps to follow? <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">How will I keep track of my progress? What are my milestones? //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I will keep track maybe on a list that will have our destanations and when we have completed everything then tick it off. // <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Possible list of steps: <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontsize: 12.0pt; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Research and gather material about my subject. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontsize: 12.0pt; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Revise material and compose text for poster. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontsize: 12.0pt; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Create graphics. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontsize: 12.0pt; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Take pictures.

You may need to review your goal for this activity. //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I am pretty sure I am, but I have been a bit disorganise at the first bit. // Do I need to revise my plan? As you continue, you may discover facts that require changing the plan. //I do revise my plan sometimes and do change some things but now we are just getting it done.// Am I satisfied with the text/graphics/pictures that I have created? //Yes because I know that we are finding good photos and make our slide shows as best as we can.// <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Well yes it took me a while to get on track but in the end we solved the problems. // <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Is the text as interesting or informative as intended? //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I think so we had changed some of it but I think for some, the information was more interesting. // <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Are the graphics and images appealing? //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Yes, I made sure they were all mostly different. // <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> What have I done? //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I’ve done quite a lot but Sierra helped a lot. I found most of the photo’s and resized them, and helped a bit with the uploading. // <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">What have I done really well? Is there anything that stands out as particularly good? //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I don’t really know but I think I edited some of the pictures good. Some pictures where a bit dark so I brighten them and I think it made a bit of a difference. // <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> Is there anything that needs improvement? Should I go back and redo anything? //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I think we were a bit rushed so if we had even more time we could of made it better, I don’t really think we need to redo much though because we worked hard on it. // <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> Am I ready to communicate my ideas or show/display my work to others? Is the project ready to be shown to others? //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Yes I am ready to communicate my ideas and the project is ready to be showed to others, we finished it and that is what matters. // || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">

Who can I tell? Who is my audience? //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Travellers, Tourists, anyone interested in our destinations. // <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> What is the best way to present this to my audience? //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Through Google Earth, on a slide show. // <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">How do I interest other students in my particular subject? //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Make sure the places and slide shows are interesting by making it eye catching. // <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Did I include the right text/graphics/images to inform and appeal to other students? //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Yes I think so because it did make me saw wow and I hope they will have the same experience from I did. // || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I would try and be more organise and try hard to get it in on time. // <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> How have I improved since that last time I worked on a similar task? //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I think I improved a bit but I still think I need to be more organise and just keep going. // <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> Have I learned anything about my subject or about appealing to others or about presenting information? //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Yes I have learnt about the disasters and the facts about them, even the closest places like the sky tower, had some facts I didn’t know about! // <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Can I use that elsewhere? //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Maybe if I was doing a mapping then maybe. // <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">How has my thinking changed as a result of this work //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">It hasn’t changed much. // <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">What skills have I learned and developed? //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Uploading, saving on Google Earth, finding photos. // <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Can these skills be applied to other subjects/activities? //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Yes maybe when I would like to add some things onto Google Earth, or Voicethread to share with my friends, and maybe in another subject that includes that sort of stuff. // <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">What problems did I have to solve?

How were they overcome? //<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Google Earth was a problem because it wasn’t saving the places, so it took us a while to figure that out.
